After playing around for a bit with my epic land mounts I felt hope that flying would be fun with epics...

I got 70th and purchased flying mounts, and in all but the most pristine conditions I have trouble with them keeping up with me if I have crusader aura up (180% total modified speed per monkeyspeed). The 220% on my epic land mounts isn't a problem, but when you add the Z axis into this the game has a lot of trouble keeping up, I have an audible alert setup and any lag at all causes it to trigger, I have to swing back, pick up, move forward, etc...

I can't imagine this @ 380% on an epic flier... it would be constant and intolerable. I believe this was one of the things that broke Xzin's spirits as well if I remember correctly.

All said and done, I intend on spending the 26,000g on other pointless things, like raid repairs on my main .
